Organ Transplantation Webcast

The Dr. Lawrence H. and Roberta Cohn ForumsORGAN TRANSPLANTATION: Medical, Technological and Ethical ChallengesPresented in Collaboration with The Huffington Post and in Association with Harvard Health Publishing

Watch the live webcast here, Friday, May 20, 2016, 12:30-1:30pm ET

People die each day waiting on lists for lifesaving organs, and the rise of chronic diseases such as diabetes only increases the demand. With the need for scientific innovation and donor support becoming ever more critical, this Forum will explore biomedical advances that promise to address the scarcity, as well as the efforts of medical leaders, advocates and policymakers to reduce the numbers waiting for transplants. Through 3-D printing, scaffolding, chips and other innovations, scientists have made extraordinary strides in tissue engineering and developing artificial organs. This program will look at the potential of advances like these, along with the ongoing role of current donation programs; ethics of matching and allocation policies; controversies around buying and selling organs; and approaches such as "presumed consent", used in some countries to increase supply, where patients are presumed to have given permission to donate their organs, unless they have explicitly opted out.

Create a meditation spot

Meditation relieves anxiety, pain, and depression by reducing the amount of the stress hormone cortisol in your bloodstream. Add meditation into your day by setting aside a time and place devoted to deep breathing and focus. Meditating a few minutes a day for a week or two can improve mood and stress levels.
